  GlenAllachie White Heather 21 years Blended Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727808

  A blended whisky that has been given time to become more than the sum of its parts. White Heather 21 Year Old is built on casks that each matured separately for eighteen years before being brought together for a final marriage in PX and Oloroso puncheons alongside Appalachian Virgin Oak. Only 2,000 bottles have been released.

  Expert's description

  White Heather 21 Year Old is a Blended Scotch Whisky, married in Pedro Ximénez puncheons, Oloroso puncheons and Appalachian Virgin Oak casks, bottled at 48% ABV.

  The first eighteen years of the whisky's life were spent in used first-fill American barrels, sherry butts and second-fill barrels/hogsheads — a wide spread of cask types, each contributing its own character to the different whiskies in the blend. Only afterwards were they brought together and left to marry in three types of specialist casks, rounding off the story with one final layer of sweetness and spice.

  The White Heather brand traces back to Campbell Distillers in the 1950s and was relaunched in 2021 with GlenAllachie and Billy Walker at the helm, giving this 21 year old one foot in tradition and one in present-day craft.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  A layered aroma where mature sherry sweetness meets notes from American oak and a hint of the fresh, robust character of Appalachian Virgin Oak.

  Palate

  Round and full-bodied, with sherry spice up front and an underlying sweetness from the puncheons that ties the many cask types together.

  Finish

  Long, warm and lightly tannic, with a closing dryness from the Virgin Oak casks.

  Investment potential

  With only 2,000 bottles of a 21 year old blended whisky from a respected name like GlenAllachie and Billy Walker, this release sits at the high end of investment potential. It combines age, a limited run and a relaunched historic brand — a combination collectors rarely tire of.

  White Heather 15 years old Blended Scotch Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22227865438-879219

  White Heather traces its roots back to the 1950s, but it is only under Billy Walker and GlenAllachie that the brand has truly come into its own. This 15 year old blended scotch brings together malt and grain whisky from the Highlands, Speyside and Islay under one roof – then matures it all further in GlenAllachie's own cellars.

  Expert's description

  White Heather 15 Year Old is a Blended Scotch Whisky at 46% ABV, composed of malt and grain whisky from distilleries across the Highlands, Speyside and Islay, including GlenAllachie's own stocks, and further matured at GlenAllachie in a combination of American oak and sherry casks.

  The brand was originally created by Campbell Distillers in the 1950s but lay dormant for decades until Billy Walker and the GlenAllachie Distillers Company revived it in 2017 and relaunched it in 2021. Today, White Heather is a standalone blended brand drawing on the same cask philosophy that has made GlenAllachie's single malts well known.

  What sets this 15 year old apart from many other blends is the secondary maturation in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso puncheons alongside Appalachian virgin oak – a combination that gives the whisky far more depth than the blended scotch category usually offers.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Soft and inviting, with honey, ripe apples and a hint of sherry sweetness hinting at the active casks used in maturation.

  Palate

  Round and gently spiced, with caramel, walnuts and a delicate fruitiness from the sherry and PX puncheons.

  Finish

  Gentle and medium in length, with a dry, faintly oaky close from the American oak maturation.
